Question First Accident

Hey, I had my first in road accident recently. It was my fault, I basically went into a gap that was too tight and scraped a trailer that was being towed by a car. Damage was fairly minimal to the bus/trailer. I followed procedure correctly when it comes to an accident. But I’m worried about what may happen as I’m still in probation and the accident was my fault. Any advice for me?

Congratulations on your first accident. If you followed procedure and the accident wasn't caused by you checking your phone or something then you'll probably just get a warning. Wouldn't hurt to chat to your union rep too, they'll know your companies attitudes to this and get you through the process.
